APPENDIX – VIII Guidelines for Award Of Letter Grades

(Amendment in UG/ PG program Curricula from session 2018-19)

As a measure of student’s performance a 7-Scale Grading System using the following letter grades

and corresponding grade points per credit, shall be followed:

TABLE-1: Letter Grades and corresponding grade points per credit Performance Letter Grade Grade Point Per Credit

Excellent A+ 10

Very good A 9

Good B 8

Fair C 7

Average D 6

Pass P 5

Fail F 0

Incomplete Course requirements I -

Debarred course due to Attendance X -

In general there is no rigid marks-to-grade linkage. Based on the several factors including the

difficulty levels of the examinations, class tests, assignments, viva-voce, etc., that contributed to the

final marks are to be considered by the Instructor/ Department Committee while converting

marks into letter grades. Still adherence by Instructor/ Department Committee to these guidelines

will help in evolving a common standard.

1. Award of Grades in Relative Grade System following guidelines may be considered.

(a) First Award Incomplete (I) and Debarred (X) Grade based on Rules and exclude all

such students.

(b) The grades 'F' (Fail) and ' A+' (Excellent) are to be considered as bench mark grades.

(c) In the relative grading system, there is no set cut-off percentages of marks for award of

any grade, hence the exact cut-off marks for ‘F’ grade, and for any grade is to be

decided by the Instructor/ Department Committee. (d) In a class/ course where percentage marks obtained by the students are normally

distributed, then Conversion from Percentage on marks based on Mean ( ̅) and

Standard deviation (σ) works fairy well.

(e) However where marks obtained by the student is not uniform (i.e. if there is high class

average or low class average) then Instructor requires to rework and modify the cut-off

for each grade, such that distribution becomes uniform as per requirement of the relative

grading system (Table-3). That has been discussed at section 6 onwards.

2. For classes where there is a reasonably uniform or has normal distribution of marks, the

conversion from marks to grade may be done using the Table-2 given below.

TABLE-2: Relative Grading Based on Normal distribution

RANGE OF MARKS GRADE ALLOTED

Marks obtained ≥ Average + 1.5 σ A+

Average + 1.5 σ > Marks obtained ≥ Average + 0.9 σ A

Average + 0.9 σ > Marks obtained ≥ Average +0.3 σ B

Average + 0.3 σ > Marks obtained ≥ Average - 0.3 σ C

26 | P a g e

Average ( ̅) and Standard deviation (σ) should be calculated as per the following equations:

Average of Marks = ( ̅) = ∑

Standard deviation (σ) =√∑ ( ̅)

where,

= The marks obtained by the ith

students and

n = Total number of appeared student (population) for the particular course, excluding

students who have been debarred (X) or have Incomplete (I) Grades

3. Normally, in a reasonably large class of students, distribution of grades is expected to follow

as detailed under Table-3.

TABLE-3: Preferred Distribution of Grades

GRADE Percentage of Appeared Student for a COURSE

A+ ≤ 10%

A 10 – 20 %

B, C, D 20 – 35% Each

P 10 – 25%

F 0 - 5 %

In order to achieve the distribution of Grades for a reasonably large class of students as per

in Table-3, for normal distribution Instructor/ Department Committee may use cut-off as

refereed in Table-2 for their reference. However, the Instructor/ Department Committee may

decide the cut-off marks for each individual grades keeping the above Table–3, without even

referring to the normal distribution i.e. the Table-2.

4. The Department Committee will decide and/ or moderate the award of grades (i.e. Cut-off

marks for each Grade) for a course being taught in more than one section/ program to avoid

wide disparity in performance across section(s)/ program(s) is observed or due to evaluation

being done by different instructors or by a group of instructors.

5. In a small class/ section with number of registered students per course is not more than 25

(twenty-five), then Instructor will follow Absolute Grading system as detailed under Table-

4.

TABLE-4: Award of Grades based on Absolute Marks obtained by students

Average - 0.3 σ> Marks obtained ≥ Average - 0.9 σ D

Average - 0.9 σ > Marks obtained ≥ Average - 1.5 σ P

Marks obtained < Average - 1.5 σ F

RANGE OF MARKS GRADE ALLOTED

Marks obtained ≥ 90 A+

90 > Marks obtained ≥ 80 A

80 > Marks obtained ≥ 70 B

70 > Marks obtained ≥ 60 C

60 > Marks obtained ≥ 50 D

50 > Marks obtained ≥ 33 P

27 | P a g e

6. If the Instructor/ Department Committee finds the course percentage of marks for the

class(s)/ section(s)/ program(s) with high average or low class average, then Instructor/

Department Committee may decide to rework on award of grades using following

guidelines:

(a) By modifying the Cut-off Marks for each grade as stated in Table-4, however the

percentage of student in each grade follows the distribution as per Table-3.

(b) May decide to rework and modify the cut-off for each grade as per Table-2.

(c) May alter the boundary of the cut-off marks by +/-5 marks depending on the

difficulty level of examinations, class tests, assignments, viva-voce, etc.

7. Minor adjustment in marks may be done by the instructor, if a student is missing

higher grade by fraction of marks (subject to maximum one mark).

8. In the case where a student appears in the Special End Semester examination normally

held at the end of a session, or attends summer quarter and then appears at Special End

Semester examination, the conversion from percentage of marks to grade would be done

by applying the same norm of cut-off marks for each grade in the respective semesters/

program of the session.

If a student has appeared in special exam for a backlog course which was not offered/ taught

in current session, then Instructor may decide to refer cut-off marks from immediate

previous sessions or may choose to award grade based on Table-4 for absolute grades.

9. In any of the above cases the instructor should announce the grading method (absolute or

relative) and evaluation pattern for internal assessment, Mid Sem and End Sem exam(s) at

the beginning of the respective courses and Semester. In case of more than on instructor(s),

Course coordinator will supervise and maintain uniformity.

10. In case of relative grading the cut-off marks for each grade for each individual course

should be completely confidential (must not be revealed to anyone) except Department

Committee. The decision of the Departmental Committee shall be final.

11. The departmental Committee will approve the cut-off marks for each Grade (Relative/

Absolute Grading System), and average marks ( ̅) and Standard deviation (σ) for all

courses.

12. The Course Instructor is required to submit hardcopy of Marks awarded for each component

of internal and end semester exam evaluation, Percentage marks obtained (PMO), Grade

awarded, and details of Average mark ( ̅), Standard Deviation (σ), Cut-off marks for each

grade to the Examination Section and Head of the department for record and future

reference.

13. Respective Course Instructor is required to upload the marks and Grade(s) and other data/

information as required in Academic MIS of the Institute, for publication of result.

14. The calculation of Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) for a set of ‘i’ subjects at end

of each semester and Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) for a set of ‘p’ subjects

offered till last semester will be calculated as detailed below:

SGPA =
